Healthy School - That is UCN

Today's post is going to be about UCNs promotion and its focus on health. I am
writing about that because I may not be a health agent in the school but I am
very interested in that subject and I think it is really amazing that our school
initiates activities that are connected to our lifestyles.

In 2011The Danish Sports Federation offered to our school a health certificate
in order to originate in young students and in UCN employee the special
interest on health. Creation of that kind of promotion goes with the known in
our school concept of 'The Whole Person' (Read about that here ) which helps us,
in understanding the school's concept which is focused on head, heart and legs.
All these combined are to support us in creating a life, where we have a good
knowledge on different areas, but we are also able to put that into
practice.

Behind all the UCN successful health campaign, stand the Health Agents who are
the volunteers (students and teachers) in creating different health activities
for all the members of UCN.

"The
Health Agents’ job is about making healthy choices easy ones and communicating
that health is not only about eating the right things and doing the right
amount of exercises. Health is first and foremost about feeling good about
yourself and others, and through this feeling, getting more energy to handle
everyday life."

Personally
I am sending you all, to this website Here since I do not know much
details about that myself. Just from my perspective, I know that they are doing
really a lot, to engage all of the students and employees of UCN in creating a
healthy life style. Just when you come in, to the building in Lindholm (where
my programme is thought), you can see a big poster saying : "You are the 30th
person today that took the stairs" or something like that. :)

Promoting sport and exercises, every student can get a discount to the famous in all Denmark sport centre called Fitness World, Fysio Fitness, swimming pools and sport wear. All of the students who are interested in loosing weight, can get discount to Danish Weight Consultants. All of us who are struggling with smoking addiction can go to "Stop Smoking" classes. Also UCN has organised every week a zumba or joga classes. Students can also dance in the sports clubs or play football or volleyball.

There are many more but I think the best initiative is created by UCN the Summer and Winter Sports Cups Days. Soon on the blog you will see the video and a blog post from Winter Cup so you know what to expect and what different activities you can do there. Anyway, I guess that most of you are coming in august, so remember to take part in Summer Cup that is organised in September! You can read about that here.

Remember that you can also become a Heath Agent and be more passionate about creating healthy life style for you and others! You can sign up , writing to Development Consultant, Anita Lindkvist Norbjerg on anln@ucn.dk . It will not only help you to get more energy and good feeling about yourself but also be an extra value to your CV! :)

Tell me what you think about UCNs and Danish focus on healthy life style? Remember my last post about Weather in Denmark? I also mentioned there, that Danes love sport! Write comment below if you think that it is a good idea from UCN's site to create this passion also in International Students? Looking forward to hear from you!

We're a group of volunteers and starting a new scheme in our community. Your web site offered us with valuable info to work on. You've done a formidable job and our whole community will be grateful to you.

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation however I to find this matter to be really something which I think I would by no means understand. It seems too complex and extremely huge for me.I'm taking a look forward in your subsequent publish, I'll try to get the hold of it!

Thank you for another informative website.Where else may just I get that type of info written in such a perfect manner?I have a venture that I am just now operating on, and I have been on the glance out for such info.

I'm hoping to start my own blog soon but I'm a little lost on everything. Would you propose starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option?There are so many options out there that I'm totally overwhelmed .. Any ideas? Thanks!

Do you have a spam problem on this site; I also am a blogger, and I was curious about your situation; many of us have developed some nice methods and we are looking to exchange solutions with other folks, be sure to shoot me an e-mail if interested.
